Does anybody reckon that halting attempts from the Tibetan side of Everest will lead to a knock-on effect in the Khumbu with increased/decreased traffic in April / May ?
*** post script *** just read news, and the whole debacle about whether the Nepalese side will be open is going on, so it could realistically be mean a drastic reduction in income for the area
(is it generally quieter doing a lodge trek independantly in late April / May than in October? ...do you end up competing with expedition support teams for rooms at the teahouses?)
